in thread How do I bury some code ?

If I don't use Class:Struct it works the way I want (as in the following code). Here ./Word.pm only "knows" about ./WordExposed/Languages.pm. I cannot get something similar with structures.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I haven't used Class::Struct, so I can hardly comment. Some confrater please take over.

Update: A look at the documentation shows this rather serious limitation:

The class created by "struct" must not be a subclass of another class other than "UNIVERSAL".
In other words: The simple (and standard) solution I proposed won't work with Class::Struct

You could try this: Make an extra class, say Word::Struct that contains the Class::Struct-related stuff. Then, in class Word, inherit from both Word::Struct and WordExposed::Languages.

Meanwhile, your best course may be be to work out the different behavior of a "standard" class and a Class::Struct based one in a small, independently runnable example and repost to SoPW under a new subject (containing Class::Struct).
